During that time how uncovered were you? long/short sleeves etc? Also roughly how much of the bottle did you use in that time?

Thanks for the pointers, got me sold and ordered one.

Been looking into this lately, and hoping someone can help. Now obviously it weighs less carrying dehydrated food and thus makes sense for meal foods. Now I could simply buy cheap brands of a certain noodle add water product but I would rather starve, at the moment paying out for an actual...

+1 for this, at first the molle system looks like simple loops but when you do that you can clearly see it bounces about like the old plce uk stuff. If you get straps that are an inch or so longer than recommended for any pouch then you have space spare to do an extra weave. Plus get ballistic...

+1 viewranger, great tool to use and also easy to customise which maps you buy. Just be sure to try just the free app for awhile before you plunge to buy.

I haven't used the specific molle pack your mentioning, but I have used other molle gear. For me it's a great system for a few reasons, you can have everything in set pockets/pouches for ease of finding. This itself can be countered by simply having colour coded bags as many folk do, but where...

If you want to dip the proverbial toe in to start without massive expense then take a look at Sketchers Go Bionic shoes. They are a bright but have a zero heel drop which is one of the primary things about barefoot. Plus sports direct do them for £20 a pair.

I normally carry a locking blade tucked away as a pure backup should I either loose or damage my normal working knife. I've been considering changing this to a multitool and wondering others thoughts on this. Do any of you ever see the need for any of the addons a multitool gives you? Also do...

Ok so I am leaning towards the baseplate design now simply as I can't see any major advantage in the lensatic style (and the quality military ones seem to all be around £20 more expensive). Just wondering folks thoughts on having a single baseplate compass or one of the matchbox styles along...

Thanks for the replies, just wondering if there is much of a difference in quality as far as a few brands go, ones I have looked at are Silva, Suunto, & Recta.

For years I have happily used a basic Silva model compass and more often relied on gps units. But now I am getting more and more into mountain walking and wanting to get involved in the competitive side of things. This obviously requires a high degree of navigation skill and so while Silva do...

I'm liking the idea of the chest pack so will have to look into something I can mount the proteus onto the straps at my chest with.

Overnight in the UK in anytime between normally april to september means no real cold, granted we do get odd years and there are a few high spots. But for the most part you are not going to die even sleeping in a coat and jeans, this simply means anything more you have increases your comfort...

I'm in the process of trying to cut back on the overall amount of things I take with me. Part of this is finally realising taking a big bergen for a couple of days just results in filling up the empty space. This has also come with a switch to tarps instead of tents. With all this in mind I am...

Thanks had a quick look on evil bay and got one just after I had posted this so all sorted now.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have got myself a couple of the maxpedition fatty pouches and intending on getting their map pouch also. Ideally I want a molle compatible belt for these but so far everything I can find online starts at around £35 and goes upwards. I don't...

Hoping to get some advice, I have an Australian style rawhide hat. It had some issues with water proofing and so I went ahead and gave it the same sort of beewax treatment as per my boots (though only waxed the outside of the hat). That side of things is now all good and well, but I was out on a...

My gf works in a fabric shop where they sell this, and I can confidently say it is next to useless. I have tried it only with things like flat plastic or such. Even then the velcro has a tendency to pull everything away if your not careful. I tried also leaving it in a warm place to aid the...

It's the typical head shape of the viper group of snakes, generally implies large strong fangs which act as hollow needles, as opposed to simply dripping venom they inject it with force. Also the rear points of the triangle can generally give you an idea just how big the venom glands are in the...
